As someone who once tipped a Jeep Wrangler up on its side after spinning in heavy snow and a slushy road, please keep in mind that four-wheel drive helps you go, not stop. I learned that lesson well. I was lucky that I ended up tipping over onto a fairly fluffy snow bank, and the end result was not only no injuries to me, the Jeep itself didn’t even get a scratch. Me and the tow-truck driver just tipped it back onto its wheels. One of the tires was knocked off of the rim by the impact, but we able to get it re-mounted.

Another lesson learned that day: It’s not easy to open a car door “up,” even a fairly light door like the ones on a Wrangler.

I took my puppy outside to do his business... he got very confused because there's snow on the ground. he then pounced on it causing a ball of snow to form which he pounced on to make more and he just kept pouncing around. It was quite funny.

Apparently thanks to a last minute storm, I'll be guaranteed a white Christmas in Poughkeepsie with a few inches of snow Christmas Eve night. The details are on Accuweather...wooooo. Covers parts of PA too

So, I am a purchasing manager for a company that has about 100 of manufacturing facilities across the country. One of the local ones that I became manager for just a week ago called me this morning and said: "Hey, we just realized, we fired the people who used to plow our parking lots and never set anybody else up to do it!"

Yeah, because having a storm that will hit us with 6-8" of snow is usually the best time to get a good price on snow plowing.
